Highlight of the market:
The Norwegian Winter Market held in 2022 was a great success, with 20 Norwegian brands and over 100k+ public visitors engaged during the two-day session. The market gathered a great number of renowned Norwegian brands and brought the most authentic Norwegian products and culture to the Chinese consumers.
In September 2023, the Norwegian Market will be back again!
Norwegian Business Association China, in collaboration with Consulate General in Shanghai and Innovation Norway are planning to co-organize the Norwegian Autumn Market – Norway Now in September, to engage even more people and to further promote the Norwegian culture, lifestyle and quality product to the local consumers.
The Autumn Market will still be taking place in BFC, and during the month of September, BFC's own weekend market "Feng Jing Weekend market" will be arranged in parallel with the Norwegian market. BFC's weekend market is a well-known spot in Shanghai, and the market was awarded the 'TOP 20 Hot Spots' by "The People's Daily" in 2020. The traffic for the Autumn Market is expected to be even higher than the Winter Market in February 2022.
The venue of the Autumn Market will be located at the outdoor central garden of the Bund Financial Center, same arene as with the Winter market and right beside the "BFC weekend market" (Illustration map at the bottom).
According the BFC's estimation, the expected flow of outreach is approximately 200k+ public visitors during the weekend. The consumer portraits could be segmented into consumers with interests in Fashion and lifestyle, consumers who are seeking for products of high quality and design, family with kids, food lovers, and consumers who are passionate for Nordics or Nordic lifestyle. Relevant companies, distributors, and business partners will also be invited and the Norwegian & expats communities in Shanghai are also welcomed.
The event will be promoted through the Team Norway's social media platforms as well as the solid network of BFC PR & Digital Promotion Network.

Each of the enrolled company will get a stand including logo plate, backdrop, table, and chairs. The company can further decorate the inner space of the stand at their own expense if needed.
